How you can help sort and pack food donations

Each year, letter carriers collect nearly one million pounds of food from homes across Long Island helping to stamp out hunger. This food is then brought to a warehouse to be weighed, sorted, packed and shipped to fill local soup kitchens, pantries and shelters.

What Should I Wear on my Volunteer Shift?
